How does EpicCare Everywhere support patient-portal access to shared records?

• A. Duplicating all data locally in the patient portal.
• B. Presenting cross-organization data in the patient portal, allowing patients to view data from multiple providers.
• C. Blocking data from other organizations unless the patient logs in.
• D. Requiring manual data entry for each new provider.

Answer: (B)

EpicCare Everywhere is built to give patients a cohesive view of their health by bringing together records from multiple providers into the same patient portal. The correct approach presents cross-organization data in the portal, so a patient can see information from several providers in one place. This unified view supports smoother care coordination, helps patients understand their history, and reduces the hassle of juggling multiple logins or separate portals. Data come from participating organizations and are shown through the portal rather than being copied into a separate local database, which keeps information up-to-date and avoids unnecessary duplication. It also avoids requiring manual data entry for each new provider, and it doesn’t indefinitely block access to data from other organizations after authentication.
